A collective rights decision by the court in Heller would invoke an era of unilaterally revisable contracts by violating the statehood contract between the United States and Montana, and many other states. That era began in 1865. Was Montana not paying attention?

This is different. It would allow, according to Texas v Lee, the consent of the States for a legal secession. We just considered it not 2 years ago for a 10 acre town stranded in Canada.
But this would be different at a fundamental level. The statehood contracts would at first, simply revert Montana to a Territory, eliminating all Federal tax revenues from the state.
Quite. Different. And quite legal, just, and persuasive.

It’s crossed my mind - more than once!

Now it begins... I expect Idaho to follow Montana’s lead. Let us see who has a bigger set of brass nuts: the SCOTUS or Montana. I’ll put my money on Montana.

I am in Colorado and have been looking at moving if the SC defiles the Bill of Rights.

I wish to emphasize "would...revert Montana to a Territory,
eliminating all Federal Tax Revenues from the state."
As a way of making somone wake the hell up and pay serious attention, this is a masterpiece.

I’m a southern boy by birth, but by God I would put up with the snow for this.
